Abstrakt: The paper presents a series of aspects regarding the design, manufacturing (through Rapid Prototyping) and FEA analysis of an intervertebral disk made from UHMWPE. In the first part are presented the most used model existing on the market. The CAD model and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the intervertebral disc (IVD) were made using the SolidWorks program. As a material, UHMWPE has been preferred due to good mechanical and biocompatibility characteristics.
